Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually checking for new releases on GitHub and notifying relevant stakeholders via email. It automates the process, ensuring that users are promptly informed about the latest updates without the need for constant manual checks.

Workflow Steps

  • Daily Trigger: The workflow starts with a daily trigger that activates the process at a specified time.
    2. Fetch Github Repo Releases: It sends a request to the GitHub API to fetch the latest release information for the n8n repository.
    3. Split Out Content: The response from GitHub is split to extract the relevant content (the body of the release notes).
    4. Convert Markdown to HTML: The extracted markdown content is then converted into HTML format for better presentation in emails.
    5. Send Gmail: Finally, the HTML content is sent via email to the specified recipient, notifying them of the new release.

    • Customization Guide

    To customize this workflow:
    - Change the GitHub Repo URL: Update the URL in the Fetch Github Repo Releases node to monitor a different repository.
    - Modify Email Recipient: Adjust the email address in the Send Gmail node to notify other stakeholders or team members.
    - Edit Email Subject and Message: Personalize the subject and message content in the Send Gmail node to better reflect your communication style.
    - Adjust Schedule: Modify the schedule in the Daily Trigger node to control how often you want to check for new releases (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly).
